Gel Manicure at beeQNails, Petaling Jaya

Hey, pretty! I am happy to share that last month I've won a gel manicure giveaway from my pretty blogger friend Grace Onn. She's having this giveaway of gel manicure at beeQNails, PJ for 3 winners. I am happy to share that yours truly is one of the winner. My winning entries goes like this "I need a manicure badly because I never tried gel manicure before, and would love to experience it with the experts at beeQnails. Envy how your nails look so good la, Grace Oon! Thx for tagging."

Alright, enough of the sweet memories. Let me share a little about beeQNails. Apparently, they are sponsoring for quite a few of Astro's host and blogger. Upon reaching, they greet me by my names with a smile, really very friendly. They offer me drinks as soon as I'm seated. I opt for the green tea.

So what's the different between normal manicure and gel manicure? A gel manicure is a type of nail treatment in which a manicurist uses gel polish to color them. Though gel nails are generally long-lasting and don't chip, people do have to take special care when removing them. Therefore, it's best to went back beeQNails for removal since it's complimentary after all.

During a gel manicure, manicurist first cleans and shapes my natural nails and pushes the cuticles back. They are very gentle with cuticle cleaning as I've been to some nail saloon which is pretty rough. They then applies base coat, which helps polish adhere better, and then applies several coats of polish to the nails. After each layer is painted on, I am require to puts my hands under a small LED lamp for 30 seconds to cure and harden it. The manicurist ends by applying a clear top coat to seal and protect the nails. Gel manicure generally lasts for a few weeks without significantly changing or chipping.

This is the LED lamp used. Been rotating my finger nails into this machine every 30 seconds.
